Above and below are images taken yesterday of what is left of the Atlantic Boat Company’s traditional pier in Herrick Bay.
The pier was destroyed by the extraordinary winter storms of January 2024. Perhaps these wooden “bones” have been left as a memorial or a reminder not to take Mother Nature for granted.
The Company replaced this old pier with a modern, retractable floating dock system that is launched when the weather warms up and stored ashore in winter. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on March 8, 2025.)
